“Lastly, I would like to tell you a story that led me here, when I was 17, I packed my suitcase to fulfil a dream.
One day I cried to my father, it’s all over, I invested my life to get here and that was it.
My father said, we came all the way here, let’s keep going and this is something that changed my mindset.
I am a nomal kid with values, I know what a hard worker is, thank you very much.”
